The sequence of fluid flow is blood capillaries.... interstitial space or interstitial fluid..... lymphatic capillaries.... lymphatic vessels.... lymphatic ducts..... junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. Then what helps this whole sequence is the skeletal muscle pump and the respiratory pump.
Plasma escapes blood capillary and bathes tissue cells.
Excess fluid flows through a network of lymphatic capillaries.
Tissue fluid enters lymph vessels where it becomes lymph.
Larger lymphatic vessels lead to lymph nodes.
Lymph passes through at least one lymphatic node where it is filtered.
Filtered lymph is collected into lymphatic ducts.
Collected lymph is drained into the venous system by the subclavian veins.
Arteries-> Blood capillaries-> interstitial spaces-> Lymphatic capillaries> Lymphatic vessels-> Lymphatic ducts-> Subclavian veins
Thoracic duct is a part of Lymphatic System.

A blind-ended vessel is a vessel that is closed at one end, or has a 'dead end'. They can be found in the lymphatic system, for example.
bacteria enter the body through a cut, scratch, insect bite, surgical wound, or other skin injury. Once the bacteria enter the lymphatic system, they multiply rapidly and follow the lymphatic vessel like a highway
Lymphnodes
Capillary
Thoracic Duct
One lymphatic vessel leaves a node.One, Single, 1
A lymph vessel. They are similar in function to blood vessels. However the lymph is moved along the vessel by muscle contractions rather than by the heart pumping.
Thoracic duct
the walls of lymphatic vessels are similar to those of veins
